I am looking to buy a personal defense / hunting sidearm handgun. I know NOTHING about pistols and need some advice. My main concern is a good gun that I can kill a bad guy with but I also want to carry it on my bear and hog hunts. Advice???

Glock 20

Nothing less than a 40, preferably a 45. Lots of options on brands and models, best to shop around and find one that feels best in hand.Comment

Glock 20 or 29...love my 20.Comment

I agree on the .40 or .45. I like the 1911. I have smaller hands so the Glock feels like a brick in my hand.Comment

I like the 1911 myself, but this can be a dangerous gun in the hands of somebody who lacks experience in Single Action Automatics. If you are dead set on a 1911, get a Kimber "your Choice" of which one, they all look dern good in my opinion. For the purpose you mention, IMO I would get something along the lines of a S&W Model 25 in 45. Long Colt. Powerful enough for the bad guy, and a Bear!!
Six shooters are more user friendly, less chance of an accidental discharge, and accurate. Good luck on your search.Comment

G20 for the bear/hog
G19 for the "bad guy"
no offense, but the 1911 family isnt for a beginner.Comment

Remember...you want to stop the threat...not kill the bad guyOriginally posted by RUNNING BEAR View Post
I carry a XD sub compact in 9mm and a NAA .22 Mag minirevolver....my next buy will be a Glock in 10mm.
Shop around, handle different models, and if possible shoot them until you find what just feels right in your hands. Any caliber will do the trick
